*Oh, Mary!* is one of Broadway’s most unexpected breakouts, having been praised for its audacity and inventiveness. Escola’s script twists American history into an absurdist tale, imagining Mary Todd Lincoln as the frustrated, unsatisfied wife whose ambitions are thwarted by her gay, closeted husband and a world that doesn’t take her seriously.

The play is quick and hilariously self-aware, filled with slapstick humour and the theatrical equivalent of a fever dream. Beneath the absurdity, however, lies a piece of tender exploration of repression and the desire to be loved and seen. 

This London staging boasts a wonderful creative team, including costume designer Holly Pierson, lighting designer Cha See, sound designers Daniel Kluger and Drew Levy, and original music by Daniel Kluger. 

This staging of *Oh, Mary!* offers a rare chance to see a genuine cult hit for yourself. It’s bold, cheeky, and unlike anything else on the London stage.

## What to watch for 

- Cole Escola wrote *Oh, Mary!* during the pandemic, after sitting on the idea for over a decade.
- John Wilkes Booth was actually a theatre actor and came from a famous acting family.
- The play that President Lincoln was watching when he was fatally shot (*Our American Cousin*) was a comedy.
-  Mary Todd Lincoln had severe overspending habits, and once bought 400 pairs of gloves over the course of 4 months.

Oh, Mary! - LON - TT Override

Don’t miss Cole Escola’s Tony-winning, smashing dark comedy *Oh, Mary!* as it storms into the West End, starring Cole Escola returning to reprise their iconic original role for a strictly limited four-week engagement from 20 July.. Directed by Sam Pinkleton, this critically acclaimed comedic masterpiece is unlike anything else on the London stage.


Starring as Mary Todd Lincdoln: <br>
__Lolly Adefope__ - Until 5 December <br>
__Jane Krakowski__ 7 December - 16 January <br>

Journey back in time to the wonderfully chaotic world of *Oh, Mary!*, Cole Escola’s hilarious, Tony-winning dark comedy as it makes its London debut. Book *Oh, Mary!* tickets on London Theatre. 

This critically acclaimed one-act play rewrites the story of Mary Todd Lincoln with a deeply irreverent twist. In the weeks leading up to her husband Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Mary is fed up with life, suffocated by expectation, and increasingly reliant on alcohol. Desperately needing escape, she holds onto dreams of returning to the cabaret stage, where she once felt a semblance of joy. What unfolds from there is a messy exploration of desire and repression, all filtered through the absurd imagination of Escola.

*Oh, Mary!* is a play which had a smashing Off-Broadway and Broadway run, and is now arriving in London with a brand-new Mary: Mason Alexander Park (*Captain BeBop, The Sandman*). Joining them is an exceptional cast, including Olivier-winner Giles Terera (*Hamilton, Othello*), Kate O’Donnell (*Big Girl’s Blouse*), Oliver Stockley (*Cabaret*), and Dino Fetscher (*The Normal Heart*).

In collaboration with this exquisite cast is a formidable creative team, including director Sam Pinkleton, costume designer Holly Pierson, lighting designer Cha See, sound designers Daniel Kluger and Drew Levy, and original music by Daniel Kluger.

The show has won multiple awards, including Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton). *Oh, Mary!* manages to blend rapid-fire comedy with humour that is just as biting as it is bizarre. *Oh, Mary!* was referred to as “the funniest play in years” by [Time Out](https://www.timeout.com/newyork/theater/oh-mary-broadway-review-cole-escola). 

With Pinkleton’s sharp direction and Escola’s masterful storytelling, this production transforms history into an absolutely hilarious queer timeline unlike anything else on the West End. 

Dark, funny, and surprisingly tender, *Oh, Mary!* in London is a show that theatre-goers are going to love.
